Mark McNairy by Spiewak F/W 2011

Mark McNairy's collaboration with American outerwear juggernaut Spiewak wasn't just a one off for S/S 2011. No, he's back at it for F/W 2011 and recreating Spiewak's classic snorkel parka in his own image. When he told me he was going to do a lookbook featuring only women I was intrigued to say the least. While these jackets are pretty much unisex, I think we can call agree that they look much better on pretty girls. But then again, you can say that about anything, I guess. Whoever did the casting on this one deserves a Nobel prize. For more information on Mark McNairy by Spiewak check out this interview Mark did for Spiewak's website.

The hard light and hard shadows on the photography look like they were taken with an on-camera pop-up flash. Not very flattering at all. The pieces look nice though. Maybe that hardness is what they were going for. If it is, it didn't flatter the girls or the jackets.

Nice collection of jackets you got there, what is the name of the store or website that selling those jackets? I like those feather's on the jacket because they have perfect combination as for winter fall and add a little colors on it for more selection. ^^

Looks great. "Anonymous" ( both ) why so negative? The approach, energy and colors / textures are original for parkas ( or do you already have a denim parka? ) And if you're gonna be negative at least be smart and don't contradict yourself. "Pieces look nice" + "it didn't flatter the jackets." Huh?

Im sorry to say it but the only thing McNairy is good at is Internet PR. He is blindly followed by style bloggers with more than a hint of you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. I really can not take him at all seriously given the best thing he's ever done is re badge sanders shoes and some of the worst things include the 'iglove' and fux leopard skin 'snood'. I think FW11 WWM shows his lack of substance.
